Used Ford Escape for Sale in Asheville, NC

I own a 2008 Ford Escape. This has been an excellent vehicle that has been through a lot. I drive this vehicle many miles a day to work each day. It currently has 166,000 miles and is still running smoothly. The interior of the car still looks fairly new. The seats which are not leather, resist stains very well. I have a basset hound that rides in the backseat each day and the seats vacuum up very well. I would also give the stereo system a high rating. The speakers are clear and make you feel immersed in the music you are playing. However, I wish the vehicle had blue tooth built in. I would consider this a negative. I also give high marks to the amount of space in the rear compartment. I am easily able to fit an industrial size vacuum and all types of other cleaning products with space to spare. The outside of the car has taken a few dings over the years but bounces back nicely. It has been hit by other cars on a total of four times. Each instance my car was sitting still, either at a stoplight or in a parking lot. Each time the car was hit, the dents and scratches were able to fixed without much effort. That is why I would give my vehicle high marks on safety. One thing I have a slight complaint about it is the gas mileage. I wish the vehicle could go a little bit further on a tank of gas. I drive around 30 miles one way to work each day and I have to fill up about every four days.

I purchased my 2004 Ford Escape in 2006. Unfortunately the previous owner removed the roof rack. This vehicle is more visually appealing with the roof rack. I have been a very satisfied with my Escape. I currently have 180,000+ miles and we are still going. This vehicle does require routine maintenance. At 135,000 miles I had to replace the transmission. I would recommend the Ford Escape to anyone who intends to keep a vehicle for 10+ years. If you like to buy or trade in a vehicle every 5 years or so then the Ford Escape is probably not the vehicle for you. I primarily serviced my car at a Ford dealership. However for oil changes, alternator etc. It is O.K. To have an Escape serviced by any licensed mechanic. The 2004 Ford Escape is not very efficient on gas mileage. The newer escapes are much better at gas efficiency. One of the best features of the 2004 Escape is the design. The design still holds up and is not outdated some 10+ years later. It still looks great on the road. Even for an older vehicle it is relatively still easy to get replacement parts should the need arise.
